âGive your daughters difficult names. Give your daughters names that command the full use of tongue. My name makes you want to tell me the truth. My name doesnât allow me to trust anyone that cannot pronounce it right.â

The Tell-Tale Heart, The Gift of the Magi, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calavaras County, Thank You Ma'am
the box social by james reaney. i remember we all had to silently read it in class, and you would hear the moment everyone reached the Part because some people would audibly go âwhatâ
wHat did I just put my eyes on
âThe Veldtâ by Ray Bradbury
Not quite a short story, but read in class: âThe Monsters are Due on Maple Streetâ from The Twilight Zone
Harrison Bergeron, Cat and the Coffee Drinkers
âWhere are you going and where have you beenâ by Joyce carol oates
âThe Pedestrianâ by Ray Bradbury
the lottery by shirley jackson
i canât believe Roald Dahlâs âThe Landladyâ wasnât already mentioned and also itâs not so much unsettling as more absurdist but âThe Leaderâ by Eugene Ionesco definitely made me go wtf
Ett halvt ark papper. I cried so much.

I read Ray Bradburyâs âAll Summer In A Dayâ in seventh grade (it wasnât assigned, I was just going through my textbook for new stuff to read) and as a bullied kid with SAD, it Fucked Me Up.

Eh, this was more like community college, but The Star by Arthur C. Clarke
Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl
and this story that I canât remember the name of and canât find, though it might be by O. Henry? itâs about a bunch of demons who want to stop Santa Claus from going through with Christmas, and he must travel through the mountains they inhabit to escape their vices? (good christ I canât remember the name for the life of me)
Ok but the laughing man and a good day for bananafish but j.d. Salinger
The City (195) Ray Bradbury. An intense commentary on colonialism and space exploration. I read it for a sci fi survey class.
Another short story I read in that sci fi class was Vaster than Empires and More Slow (1971) by Ursula K. Le Guin. A commentary on humanity and how human we believe ourselves to be. Also, an interesting commentary on mental health.
In the Woods Beneath the Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom, written in 1947 by Ango Sakaguchi. It made my skin crawl the first time I read it.
Also going to recommend For A Breath I Tarry by Roger Zelazny, a commentary on whether AI can become human in a future without humans: http://www.kulichki.com/moshkow/ZELQZNY/forbreat.txt
whoever posted âThe Laughing Manâ and âA Good Day For Bananafishâ is Correct

How Much Land Does a Man Need? by Leo Tolstoy
âIf I had a nickel for every time I stayed up too late for someone who would never wake up for me⌠a penny for every time I had to bend and stretch to prove to someone that I am here, that I exist, my heart would rattle and shake with all of the coins spilling back into it.â

Happy Pride Month, everyone! Remember:
-âBisexualâ does not mean âexclusively attracted to cis men and cis women,â rather it means attracted to more than one gender.Â
-Bisexuals in relationships with someone of a different gender are just as valid and queer as anyone else.
Lastly,
-BISEXUALS ARE A LOUD PROUD AND REAL PORTION OF THE LGBTQ+ ALPHABET SOUP UMBRELLA AND BIPHOBIA IS GROSS.
Thank you.

Affirmation
to youth living in prison after Assata Shakur Speak this to yourself until you know it is true. I believe that I woke up today and my lungs were working, miraculously, my voice can sing and murmur and ask, miraculously. My hands may shake, but they can hold me, or another. My blood still carries the gifts of the air from my heart to my brain, miraculously. Put a finger to my wrist or my temple And feel it: I am magic. Life and all its good and bad and ugly things scary things which I would like to forget beautiful things which I would like to remember â the whole messy lovely true story of myself pulses within me. I believe that the sun shines if not here, then somewhere. Somewhere it rains, and things will grow green and wonderful. Somewhere inside me, too, it rains, and things will grow green and wonderful. Sometimes my insides rain from the inside out. And then I know I am alive I am alive I am alive
Eve L. Ewing (via http://www.liberationlib.com/affirmation-poem.html)
Sadly, girlsâ trauma is more likely to be missed than that of boys. In children younger than about 11, boys tend to act out and behave badly if they are unhappy - so their trauma is noticed and (hopefully) addressed.Girls tend to react by becoming âpeople pleasersâ. Itâs as if they see trauma as a punishment, and hope that they can avoid it by being âgoodâ. They will talk less, work harder, always be springing up ready to help anyone with anything at the slightest indication they may want it. They watch the emotional states of adults like a hawk and soothe, placate and offer practical help at the slightest sign of anger or displeasure. As this is the kind of behavior encouraged in girls, no one takes any notice until itâs too late.
Tool of the Matriarchy  (via sonnywortzik)
You donât have to be grateful that it isnât worse.
read that. read it again, and again, and again. somebody, somewhere, always has it worse than you. there is one person on this planet that has it the worst of all, and that person is NOT the only person allowed to be unhappy with their lot. if things are bad for you, they are bad for you. period.
This goes for trauma as well. A lot of times survivors get trapped in a cycle of minimizing/diminishing their trauma because âother people have it worseâ - but there is no hierarchy of trauma. There is no ranking system for which traumas are âbetterâ or âworse.â Your trauma is valid. Period.
IMPORTANT TRUTHS.
As a therapist, lemme just say: almost every trauma survivor Iâve ever had has at some point said âBut I didnât have it as bad as some peopleâ and then talked about how other types of trauma are worse. Even my most-traumatized, most-abused, most psychologically-injured clients say this.Â
The ones who were cheated on, abandoned, and neglected say this. The ones who were in dangerous accidents/disasters say this. The ones who were horrifyingly sexually abused say this. The ones who were brutally beaten say this. The ones who were psychologically tortured for decades say this. What does that tell you? That one of the typical side-effects of trauma is to make you believe that you are unworthy of care.Â
Donât buy into it, because itâs nonsense. It doesnât matter if someone else had it âworse.â Every person who experiences a trauma deserves to get the attention and care they need to heal from it.Â
âone of the typical side-effects of trauma is to make you believe that you are unworthy of care.â
SO true.
Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, itâs all a male fantasy: that youâre strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you arenât catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending youâre unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.
Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride
(via goalsandpriorities)
We call ships âshe.â We call our war machines âwomen.â We compare women to black widows and vipers. And youâre going to tell me itâs not âlady-likeâ to scream, to take up space, to fight and demand respect and do whatever the hell I want. Youâve looked at nuclear bombs and been so in awe that you could only name them after women. Donât try to down-play my power.
I want to frame this and put it next to my computer.

Reminder: http://ift.tt/2qnYKLN
A catcall is entirely about reminding you that you are not yours. The purity myth is entirely about reminding you that you are not yours. The fetishization of female purity in a world where catcalls are an acceptable form of communication telegraphs one thing very clearly: âWomen, stop sexualizing yourselvesâthatâs our job, and youâre taking all the fun out of it.â The sexualization of women is only appealing if itâs nonconsensual. Otherwise itâs âsluttiness,â and sluttiness is agency and agency is threatening.
